Lunation length longer than mean

Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 49 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 14 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.

Lunar orbit position on 29 June 2014 Sunday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠144.1°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠144.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly is ∠169.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months increases since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).

Moon before apogee

14 days after point of perigee on 15 June 2014 at 03:34, lunar orbit gets wider while the Moon moves outward the Earth. It keeps this direction for next 1 day until it gets to the point of apogee on 30 June 2014 at 19:09.

Moon before ascending node

7 days after its descending node on 21 June 2014 at 20:30, the Moon follows the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days untill it crosses the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 6 July 2014 at 09:50.

Draconic month

20 days after its beginning, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of current draconic month.

Moon after northern standstill

3 days after previous North standstill on 26 June 2014 at 08:34, when Moon reaches northern declination of ∠19.035°, lunar orbit moves southward for the next 11 days to face South declination of ∠-18.982° in the next southern standstill on 10 July 2014 at 17:29.

Syzygy in 12 days

After 12 days the Moon is in Full Moon opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy on 12 July 2014 at 11:25.
